Silent Hunter series, mortally wounded by self-inflicted gunshot wound.

Why even complain about it? We all bought this piece of crap game, we're all suckers. I personally am never buying another UBI game again, for any system. That's my decision- nothing can recoup my poor judgment on the sunk cost of this particular "finished" product. But I sure as hell can decide never to support this company in any future endeavours.

If they are "done" with the sub genre, good riddance. I'll take my modded games and be perfectly fine. Glad UBI got out before they churned out a SH6 which was a complete transition into a "virtual life" game that their poorly trained consumer insights/marketing department seems to believe will be profitable.

No, not everyone bought the game. Quite a few of us hesitated upon hearing of the DRM and lack of general feedback of the progress.
We're just here because we love the francise and what could have been.

For me there will have another patch for three reasons:

1/ Silent Hunter V finished in 1943.
2/ There is only the classe VII in this first game.
3/ Ubi Soft knows there is a very important community of gamers all around the world !

Optimisism is of course always nice, but realistically thinking you're expecting way too much. 1 and 2 won't happen in a patch. An addon maybe, like the U-boat addon for SH4, but not in a free patch. They are deliberate design choices and not something to be "fixed" via patching. 3, well I wouldn't be so sure about that anymore. By all means they should know, but the actions speak otherwise. Besides the community is pretty small which means not much $$ can be extracted from it compared to communities formed around more popular titles.

Yes Fincuan but Subsim is a very important community. And perhaps will Destroyer Command 2 be produced

?

ubi probably never finish the game but add some new units and moddify the campaign can be done using mods.

but only in the case that will not have another patch.

I hope that they release a 1.2 offline before shutting down the servers
